if shrimp cost $4.60 per pound how much does 12oz bag cost they are packed 12ozx24units

Question

shrimp is $4.60 per pound what is the unit cost for a 12oz bag

Answer 1

What fraction of a pound is 12 oz? We know that 1 lb = 16 oz, so 12 oz = 12/16 = 3/4 lb.

 

The cost of a 12 oz bag would be 3/4 the cost of a pound of shrimp.

 

3/4 * 4.60 = $3.45
